Will you be planning any flights from Las Vegas to and from Palomar Airport in San Diego? This seems to be the “forgotten airport and it’s the most convenient for getting to and from Las Vegas. We’ve been waiting for Pacific Air to get the “all go ” signal but don’t think that is going to happen. City politics are the worse to deal with. Carolyn Dube cargdma@cox.net
